Hardware

LLMs AI models are heavy resource consumers both in terms of memory and CPU. Each of the provided models consumes about 4GiB of memory and requires at least 4 CPUs to run.

We recommend a minimum of 12GB of memory and at least 4 CPUs for the Podman machine. On Windows, the podman machine shares memory and CPU with all the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) machines. By default, WSL is set to 50% of total memory and all logical processors. This can be changed in the WSL Settings (See WSL Config).

As an additional recommended practice, do not run more than 3 models simultaneously.
